Throat cancer symptoms

Common throat cancer symptoms may include:
  • Difficulty swallowing, also known as dysphagia
  • Changes in your voice
  • Sore throat
  • Unexplainable weight loss
  • Swelling of the eyes, jaw, throat or neck
  • Bleeding in the mouth or through the nose
  • Chronic cough
Some symptoms of throat cancer are specific to certain areas of the body. For instance, changes in your voice may be a sign of laryngeal (voice box) cancer, but would rarely indicate cancer of the pharynx.
